Best Seating Group

1. Sol 72 Outdoor Rochford Seating Group

Sol 72 Outdoor

  • Why I Love It: includes a sectional sofa, two club chairs and a storage coffee table, constructed with rust-resistant aluminum wrapped in all-weather wicker, removable/easy to clean thick, foam-filled cushions, four contemporary colors, comes fully assembled 
  • Customer Rave: “Light enough to be moved easily but good quality and very comfortable. The low back has the perfect height I was looking for and fits perfectly on my balcony. No assembly required, just unpack and enjoy your new furniture”

I'm obsessed with this six-piece seating set, not least of all because it includes a sectional sofa, two club chairs and a storage coffee table—all featuring a slim, modern design that gives a fresh face to the classic wicker look. There's hidden storage in the lift-top coffee table, and everything in the set is constructed from rust-resistant aluminum wrapped in resin wicker, per the brand, so they're built to last through any weather conditions. Each seat also comes complete with thick, foam-filled cushions (removable covers included) in a range of weatherproof fabrics. Best of all? The set comes fully assembled right to your doorstep thanks to free white glove delivery!

Best Dining Set

2. Beachcrest Home Balceta Dining Set

Beachcrest

  • Why I Love It: includes eight chairs with Sunbrella performance cushions, weather- and UV-resistant acacia wood dining table, modern farmhouse design
  • Customer Rave: We’ve been looking for a table that sits at least eight people—[this one has] more than enough room. Beautifully crafted and love the color. Cushions are thick and I like the fact that they come in a black fabric with the slipcover color of your choice; adds some versatility.”

Sure, you loved that gunmetal dining set when you bought it in 2015. But at this point, it could probably use a warning label that says, “don’t sit here unless you have an updated tetanus shot.” Give your guests an upgrade at your next outdoor soiree with this eight-person dining set, which includes eight chairs (with Sunbrella performance cushions included) and an 83-inch dining table. Not only does its design boast the best of modern farmhouse, but the entire set is made of weather- and UV-resistant acacia wood that’ll stand the test of time. 

  • Why I Love It: cushion pillows are filled with sag-resistant fiber, Sunbrella fabric covers, eucalyptus wood frame is designed to prevent rotting, can hold up to 750 pounds at a time
  • Customer Rave: “I live in California where it never rains in the summer but of course, it rained the first week after I set up the couch. The couch, though, was completely fine after the rain stopped! No issues at all.”

There are a slew of outdoor sofas on the market, but the most comfortable option I've found (that also happens to be over 50 percent off) is this number from Joss & Main. What makes it special is its six soft-yet-supportive foam cushions, which boast smooth curves and shapely angles to prevent sagging. They also include Sunbrella performance fabric covers that repel spills and stains like magic (watch this video if you don’t believe us). Plus, the slatted frame prevents water from pooling up underneath, while the solid eucalyptus wood frame is designed to prevent rotting and fading over time. And to top it all off, the sofa can hold up to 750 pounds at a time, so the whole gang can cuddle up.

Best Bistro Set

4. Kelly Clarkson Home Mantz Seating Group

Kelly Clarkson Home

  • Why I Love It: includes two chairs and one side table, handwoven all-weather wicker on a rustproof aluminum frame, stackable chairs, arrives fully assembled 
  • Customer Rave: “I absolutely LOVE this set! It’s cute, quaint and creates the perfect little conversation nook on my deck. The chairs are comfortable for me, who is short, and my husband who is tall. It adds just the pop of color I was aiming for.”

Constructed with hand-woven, all-weather wicker and a rustproof aluminum frame, this three-piece conversation set will give your balcony the pop of glam it’s been craving. In addition to its two modern stackable chairs, I also love that it includes a round table for drinks and hors d'oeuvres. Sure, it’s pricier, but I think its durability and timeless, black-and-white (or blue-and-brown) design are well worth the investment. (Especially since it'll arrive fully assembled.)

Best Chaise Loungers

5. Three Posts Northridge Chaise Lounge Set

Three Posts

  • Why I Love It: includes two chaise loungers, built-in wheels, five reclining positions, detachable cushions with Sunbrella covers and hook-and-loop straps, powder-coated aluminum frame withstands the elements
  • Customer Rave: “Just about perfect in style, construction and comfort. Those little rear wheels make moving them a breeze and once set, nothing less than a hurricane breeze will budge ‘em.”

This set of two chaise loungers was designed with fuss-free relaxation in mind, so of course they include removable, cozy, 3-inch Sunbrella fabric cushions that are water-, UV-, mildew- and rust-resistant. And yes, the chairs recline at a five-angle adjustment, so you can find the perfect position to enjoy your summer reading.

Best Umbrella

6. Arlmont & Co. Market Umbrella

Arlmont & Co.

  • Why I Love It: 9-foot diameter, crank lift for easy opening and closing, durable and weather-resistant polyester fabric, full protection from UV light
  • Customer Rave: “Beautiful and well made. Easy to store, easy to clean. Three years later, it looks as crisp and stately as when it was delivered.”

For the gal who wants to feel resort vibes while she's holding Zoom meetings from her patio, this water- and UV-resistant umbrella boasts a chic navy-and-white striped design (it's also available in black-and-white) that'll whisk you away to the White Lotus. Meanwhile, a tilted, crank lift construction makes it easily maneuverable, and its 9-foot diameter ensures that you’ll be comfortably shaded all day long.

Best Modular Sectional

7. AllModern Jurgen 5 Piece Sectional Seating Group

AllModern

  • Why I Love It: Seats up to five people, includes thick cushions for maximum comfort, module and easy to re-arrange, durable Acacia wood can withstand the elements
  • Customer Rave: “This modular seating group has transformed our porch into a cozy place that we spend way more time in now. The fact that I can separate or change the grouping is a huge bonus. The quality is fantastic for the price point.”

I love that this contemporary sectional can a) comfortably fit up to five people and b) be re-arranged and added to over time. Thanks to its modular design, you have the option to use one chair piece alone, or in pairs, or with matching corner and ottoman pieces to create a sectional.  Plus, it comes with a sturdy Acacia frame that can withstand the elements and the 10 cushions designed to be as water-resistant as they are comfortable.

Best Bar Stools

8. Joss & Main Byron Outdoor Bar Stool Set

Joss & Main

  • Why I Love It: Includes two stools, deep foam-filled cushions, footrest bar, rust-resistant aluminum frame, removable/washable cushions, boho design
  • Customer Rave: “These bar stools are fairly easy to put together and are very sturdy. They are nice looking and comfortable as well. The material [is also] durable and withstands the summer heat in Arizona.”

It’s hard to find outdoor bar stools that aren’t, well, plastic—but this set of two combines comfort and boho style in a way that won’t mess up the rest of your patio decor. They feature a rattan seat atop an aluminum frame—both of which are weather- and UV-resistant—and the two foam cushions feature a deep 19.7-inch depth that really allows you to sit back and relax. The footrest at the bottom prevents your feet from dangling, plus it blends seamlessly into the bottom of the frame (which also happens to be rust-resistant).

Best Bar Cart

9. Joss & Main Domenica Bar Cart

Joss & Main

  • Why I Love It: two-tier cart with removable top shelf that doubles as a serving tray, French geometric design woven from naturally-durable polyurethane, vintage-inspired, caster wheels with locks make it easy to move around
  • Customer Rave: “Absolutely love this! Quality is excellent and it looks beautiful. Can’t wait to use it both inside and outside. Especially love that the top tray can be removed for separate use.”

This modern-meets-French-country bar cart is this year’s answer to bringing the Parisian bistro look outside. It has a geometric design woven from naturally durable polyurethane—and its blue/white pattern is purposefully distressed for a vintage-inspired look. Plus, the caster wheels not only make it easy to move around, but they also feature locks that keep the cart from rolling away with your drinks. And the cherry on top? It features a two-tier design with a removable top shelf that doubles as a serving tray (aperitifs and appetizers have never looked chicer).

Best Fire Pit

10. Sol 72 Outdoor Bridgeman Fire Pit

Sol 72 Outdoor

  • Why I Love It: includes log grate, spark screen, fire poker, and cover, cut-out patterns of moons and stars create a cool effect at night, large bowl frame, rust-resistant powder-coated steel, spark and protective screening, safety ring that doubles as a handle
  • Customer Rave: "It's easy to assemble, has a very sturdy nice design of moon and stars. [And it] makes a great fire for six people to be able to sit around it."

With more than 3,000 largely positive reviews, this fire pit is a customer fave for its whimsical design. Since it’s made of powder-coated steel, it's resistant to rust no matter what the weather conditions are. Put some wood logs in the bowl for long-lasting heat and don't worry about the wrong kinds of sparks flying; the protective screening across the cutouts prevents embers from flying out. Plus, the pit has a safety ring situated around the entire diameter that functions as a convenient handle for carrying.

Best Accent Chair

11. Highland Dunes Baytree Egg Chair

Highland Dunes

  • Why I Love It: 360-degree base with swivel, seat and back cushions with two toss pillows, all-weather wicker on a powder-coated steel frame, modern open weave design, thick and removable white cushions with weather-resistant fabric, PE rattan frame
  • Customer Rave: “Love this egg chair! Well made and the cushions are comfortable to sit in for long periods of time. ... Assembly was easy, nothing to it but screw on the leg part.”

The brand describes this as a “modern egg chair” because of, well, its egg shape and chic, swivel base design, and I'd say that's a fairly accurate description. But it's not just about looks: the chair also comes with comfortable and durable cushions made from weather-resistant olefin fabric, while the PE rattan frame makes it easy to clean and maintain. Plus, its unique shape makes it perfect for smaller spaces or as part of a larger lounge setting, where the 360-degree swivel base allows for easy maneuvering and re-positioning.

Best Gazebo

12. Red Barrel Studio Franz Iron Patio Gazebo

Red Barrel Studio

  • Why I Love It: all-weather hardtop roof blocks, UV-rays and provides stability in windy conditions, comes with zippered mosquito netting, made with a sturdy rust-resistant steel material
  • Customer Rave: We love our Patio Gazebo and our neighbors enjoy looking at it too! By the way, our pets love it also. Great shelter from inclement weather. Very sturdy and handles the wind well.”

I came for this gazebo's sophisticated, contemporary look, but it was the all-weather roof that really sold me. It allows sunlight to filter in while reducing heat and blocking the majority of harmful UV rays—all while adding a layer of protection during storms or windy conditions. The structure also comes with curtains and screens, as well as all of the necessary anchor/mounting materials for assembly, with the hooks being easy to assemble and disassemble. In fact, some reviewers noted that they were able to put this bad boy together all by themselves, which is always a bonus.
